The lights of the circus show
Well, goodbye 2011. In retrospect, possibly the biggest year of my life thus far. Art directed an amazing magazine (and won 5 national awards for it), graduated (for the last time) with a masters degree, left school for probably forever, got an honest-to-god real journalism job (and still designing), moved to Corvallis and into my very very own apartment (which I only have to share with a bunny). So it's been a big year, life-wise.
Trying to imagine what on earth 2012 could hold for me. It would be lovely to meet someone, really lovely, but I'm not holding my breath. Otherwise I'd probably die from suffocation. However, a year is a long time. Anything and everything could happen. I just hope it doesn't suck, whatever it is.
Have a few New Year's resolutions, which I will actually try to keep.
1. Be more creative. I was the most creative, innovative person ever like seven months ago. Time to amp it up again. Redesign the Entertainer, make it the most awesome Entertainer ever. Don't be a lazy design ass.
2. Spend less money, save more money. I spend way too much money on food.
3. Go to the events I'm invited to. I'm always getting comped tickets for the arts events that I write about - it's time I started actually going. I really should be more of an active figure in the arts community.
and the biggest, most important resolution of all:
4. Buy the ticket, take the ride. Thank you, Mr. Thompson, for that very sound advice. Exciting things will never happen, adventures will never seek me if I don't suck it up and take the goddamned ride.
